Wherever this Code provides that the consent of the commissioner of transportation must be obtained for any action, the commissioner may grant a permit for that action, subject to any restrictions of the provisions of this Code relating thereto. In cases where the ordinances of annexed cities, towns or villages granting privileges and rights in the public ways and public grounds for different purposes provide that the president and board of trustees shall in each instance grant permission for any specific work under the ordinances, the commissioner of transportation shall have authority to grant such permission in lieu of the president and board of trustees. All charges by the commissioner of transportation for granting such permits shall be reasonable. (Added Coun. J. 12-11-91, p. 10828)
